| - I try to not just give a five star on a first visit to a new eating establishment but I had such a good experience! Both the service and the food was excellent. Nush does sort of a super healthy and organic and local Persian cuisine (by the way, if you do not know, Iran is modern day Persia). I took some folks from work and we tried the Nush fries, as recommend by our waitperson and wow, addictive, I could eat plates of them. Then for the meal I had the spinach and sausage linguine, so good! For desert we tried the pomegranate ice cream, and it was also lovely. As it was a work lunch and HR forbids me from drinking during a work day (I know, where are the days of MadMen when you need them) I had one of the five or six fresh brewed iced teas that are available and it was also, well, lovely! I believe the owners also stopped by and asked how we liked our meal as well. Honestly, I'm amazed that a place that just opened a short time ago could be just so good across the board, right from the beginning and the location, just lovely - you sort of feel like you are on the patio of a funky house when you sit outside. They also have a number of micro-brews on draft, including In the Ivy, a lovely IPA from Huss brewery - in fact, all the beers on draft are brewed in Arizoan and they have some additional micro-brews in cans and bottles - more local AZ beers but also some excellent ones from out of state such as Bells Two Hearted, one of my favorites. I have to give kudos to a place this close to ASU giving the proverbial finger of fate to the large commercial brewers and it shows a deep understanding of aligning both the food and the beverages with the stated core values of their establishment (see my post on Blasted Barley for a discussion of a place that is showing some confusion on their brand messaging via their beer selection).
Let's just say that I'm going to be a regular customer of the Nush - great food and service, good selection of craft brews, and lovely location, along with what appears to be some deep knowledge of how to run an eating establishment and project a coherent brand message so as to build a committed relationship with a core customer base over time, nice work folks!
